Intended solution of waRSAw challenge from InCTF Internationals 2019

tl;dr variant of LSB Oracle Attack on unpadded RSA

tl;dr

1. Find Elliptic Curve parameters from given points on the curve
2. Find x-coordinate of 2*P, given y-coordinate of 2*P
3. Invert 2 over mod (P.order()) and multiply the result with 2*P to get P
4. Submit ASIS{P.x} as the flag

Full solution of EZDSA challenge from MidnightSun CTF Quals 2019.

tl;dr retrieving key using Euler’s Criterion to break signature authentication

tl;dr solving RSA Digital Signature using it’s homomorphic property:

1. Calculate the signature of factors of message M to be signed, separately
2. Combine them by multiplication over modulus to get the signature of M
